Birchbox February 2013

Monday, 18 March 2013

Birchbox is the newest beauty box subscription on the market, and it is infact the re-branded version of Joliebox. I was lucky enough to be sent a trial of the box, the February 'Fashion Week' version.

I do love the concept of these boxes, and I have to say I'm really impressed with Birchbox's offering!

In the box I received:
Birchbox Eyelash curlers. These always come in handy, as I'm forever loosing the ones I own! Eyelash curlers aren't something which I use on a daily basis, but for nights out or when I'm wearing false lashes, they're a must. These are a pretty decent pair too!

Vichy Thermal Spring Water. I love this stuff! I hate being too hot, so having this in my bag for a bit of a refresh is pure heaven to me. Plus I hate it when my makeup looks powdery, or cakey, and this really helps to combat that.

Korres Guava Shower Gel. I've received this in another beauty box before, and I loved it. I always like Korres products, they're definitely worth giving a go if you haven't already.

Nick Chaves Plump 'n' Thick Thickening Mist. I'm definitely going to be writing a separate review on this, as I'm always on the hunt for the perfect thickening spray. I will let you know if I like it or not... I'm hoping it lives up to my expectations, as it sounds pretty amazing!

Gerda Spillman Bio Fond Cream Foundation. Unfortunately the shade of foundation I have received is way too dark for my skin, which I am genuinely gutted about. I would have loved to give it a go, and the fact that it comes in a handy little compact is such a bonus. I'll be giving it a try when I'm tanned over the Summer though.

EBoost Natural Energy Booster. This is a sachet of powder which you mix with water for a boost of energy. It's orange flavour, so definitely to my taste, although I am a bit dubious! I'll let you know how I get on with it.

I still believe beauty boxes are a brilliant idea for a gift, and the March Birchbox which is available now looks just as good as this one!
